"The Lion Boy" was calmed to a certain extent during this time due to the storm caused by squinting, but what followed was a slowdown in box office growth. Last week, "The Lion Boy" increased by up to one million a million a day at the box office, and a minimum of 400,000. At this rate of growth, if "The Lion Boy" is lucky after a month, the box office can exceed 250 million, and if the luck is relatively poor, it may stop at the early 240 million. "Lion Boy" is difficult to break through the threshold of 250 million at the box office, which is related to the controversy it has received. Let's analyze it in detail, as follows:
Squinting at the storm, let "Lion Boy" break through the 200 million mark
"Lion Boy" was able to get 200 million at the box office, and the widely criticized squinting eyes were indispensable. This kind of design, which was angrily sprayed by netizens to "insult the Chinese people", received the common attention of the positive and negative parties on the Internet, and objectively brought a lot of box office to "Lion Boy". According to the distribution of the box office of "Lion Boy", we can find that in the last week of December, the most controversial on the Internet, "Lion Boy" received its largest box office, and broke 200 million at the box office on January 3, taking 18 days.
Since then, "The Lion Boy" has seen a significant Waterloo phenomenon at the box office, and about two weeks have passed since January 3, and its box office has only increased by 30 million. By comparison, we can find that the greater the controversy of "The Lion Boy", the faster its box office will rise, breaking 200 million in half a month; the smaller the controversy, the slower the box office will grow, and the same half a month will not even earn half a billion. So although squinting seems to make "The Lion Boy" suffer a lot of scolding, it actually makes a lot of money.
Squinting at the crowd led to a lack of box office stamina
The plot and production of "Lion Boy" is still excellent in the national comic movie, and under normal circumstances, it can attract a lot of tap water, but unfortunately, "Lion Boy" is in an abnormal situation, and the audience or netizens focus on it mainly focusing on the squinting eyes of the characters, and its plot, character design and production have therefore been ignored, and they have been seriously degraded under special circumstances. If a movie wants to make lasting profits and maintain staying momentum, it needs not only a breaking point, but also a second and a third.
As soon as "The Lion Boy" was released, there was a flash point of squinting eyes out of the circle, but its plot and production, as well as the awakening lion culture in the film, could not bring a second explosive point, they were all squinting and dominating. Therefore, when the squinting eyes of "Lion Boy" lose the value of discussion, it will not have more places to attract the audience, and some Guangdong netizens feel that squinting is too ugly, even if "Lion Boy" promotes their lion culture, it is not willing to serve as the tap water for "Lion Boy".
"Lion Boy" has a normal painting style, and it cannot break through 250 million
"Lion Boy" is now impacting the 250 million mark, some netizens feel that if the painting style of "Lion Boy" is normal, the characters are handsome men and women, and the box office may easily break through 250 million. In fact, this statement is debatable, the painting style of "Lion Boy" is normal, it can only focus on special effects and plot, and its plot has not reached the level of national comic classics.
"Lion Boy" does not have big scenes and magnificent special effects, and now the box office is super high Chinese comic films, there will definitely be mountains and seas or starry sky forests and other wonders, most viewers like visual impact, like to watch big scenes and big productions, "Lion Boy" lacks this. The theme of "Lion Boy" is relatively niche, awakening lion culture and fengshen culture, the former has a significantly smaller audience, and the basic disk of "Lion Boy" is not large.
summary:
"Lion Boy" was scolded because of squinting eyes, scolded out of a box office of 200 million, now no one scolded, the box office can not go up to 250 million, it is really a human comedy. "Lion Boy" relies too much on the flashpoint of squinting, resulting in it being noisy, other elements can not absorb powder, squinting no one talks about, "Lion Boy" no one talks about it. But even if "Lion Boy" is not squinting, it lacks the shortcomings of large productions and niche themes, or it will still be stuck at the box office at the mark of 250 million, what do you think?
